2026 Tournament PreviewIt has already been a Cinderella story for Idaho, which won four games in five days as the seven seed in the Big Sky tournament to clinch its first NCAA Tournament berth since 1990. A deep rotation features six players with 90-plus three-point attempts, led by senior Isaiah Brickner (12.1 ppg, 3.9 rpg), who gave the Vandals a 23-point double-double in the conference title game. Brickner shoots 42.2 percent from the perimeter, as the Vandals convert 34.5 percent from deep (148th). A 6-7 freshman, Jackson Rasmussen (13.9 ppg, 4.7 rpg) leads three others in double figures. Defensively, Idaho pounds the glass, ranking fifth nationally in defensive rebounding rate. But the Vandals haven't been tested much. They haven't even played a Quad 1 opponent and are 0-3 vs. Quad 2. That at least sets the stage for what would be a monumental upset in the opening round vs. No. 2-seed Houston.
